Soothing Waters

Soothing Waters

A mother mourns

Grieving tears

The emotional placenta is torn

Fragments of tomorrows’ dawn

Pieces of a longing heart

Those butterfly wishes, and dreams woven

With flesh and blood

All torn

 

The Saturn return

And the basket of time

Is moving him away

Where stitch by stitch

He pretends his history is just that

Denial too is a choice

Unraveling his bonds

Giving way to noisy connections

As scripts fill the auditorium of a relationship

Playing out comedy, tragedy, love story, drama and thriller

All intertwined

 

I wonder about the light of many tomorrows

About the clippings of wisdom

From her sacred nest

That lines my walls and memory banks

I wonder about Ascension

And remember my own shadow

 

Remember my own separation

Remember the dark corners tugging me

And then me on them

Until the black flowers blossomed

And by grace

Like a rubber bank

I snapped

At times wondered if I had broken

But the elasticity of survival and soul

Proven me stronger

 

I know, as she that this too shall pass

And only wish to find a way

To pour soothing waters on her heart
